Ixmdon May 17 The resolution of
protest against the nomination of
Walter H Page as United States am

duced by W Coffey, a member of the
executive committee of the London
Trades Council on the strength of a
letter written on paper bearing tho
letierhead of the Allied Trades Coun
cil of Greater New York ami signed
"Charles L Conway, secretary of the
National Brotherhood of Bookbind
ers."
After describing Mr Page as a
member of the firm of Doubleday.
Page & Co.. the letter says:
"This concern is bliter'v opposed to
I organized labor The only department
that forced recognition from the uni
Ion standpoint was the bookbinders.
I but the are now on strike being
I forced out. as the policy of the firm
lis to replace men with bos.
The letter also says that the Inter
national Typographical union, local
No 6. continues the firm on the "u-j
fair" list and that the men who had
been secured to take the strikers'
.places rebelled and struck without the
aid of anj organization
The latter concludes by asking "all
the organized labor of the United
Kingdom to assist us In giving this
matter the widest publicity and also
to file a protest to our government on
Its selection and a protest to your own
government for Its acceptance of, this
man."
